Swans, loons, tunes, and pantaloons. Acorns, dice, and tennis balls. Haystacks by the North Sea in late summer.Goblets, ghosts, elves, and queen bees. Dumfries, Stranraer, Belfast, and Brigadoon. A ferry that sank beneath the Irish Sea.Odes, wolves, and jelly beans. Killroy, whales, and submarines. The dragon devours the year.
